We are based in the picturesque village of Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog which is just over the hill from Llangollen in the Ceiriog Valley. We are just to the east of Snowdonia and south of the Clwydian Range. The best bike parks and trails in North / Mid Wales are within easy reach.

Getting here is straightforward, some approximate driving times are 1.25 hour drive from the North West, 3.5 hour drive from London and the home counties, 2.25 hour drive from the East Midlands and 3.5 hour drive from South Wales. The nearest train station is Chirk which is approximately 11 miles away.

Glan y Wern is a spacious self catering holiday cottage in North Wales and is an ideal destination for a mountain biking holiday. We are avid mountain bikers so can help with any questions you may have about the area.

We are within a short drive from Coed Llandegla, Coed y Brenin, Penmachno trails, Revolution Bike Park, One Giant Leap and Gwydir Mawr. There are also some great off road trails in the valley including the Beast of Llangollen and the famous Wayfarers Path to Llandrillo.

We have two bedrooms (one en suite), a comfortable lounge with log burner, well equipped kitchen diner, an enclosed garden and a sunny patio with barbecue which overlooks fields.

Within a two minute walk are two historic pubs both serving fantastic food. One of which was recently voted one of the 30 cosiest pubs in the UK by the Daily Telegraph.

We have secure bike storage, off road parking, bike washing facilities and plenty of room to dry wet cycling gear.

If you want a break from riding, then within a short drive you can reach the popular tourist destinations of Llangollen, Bala and Betws-y-Coed. There is also lots to do in the area for families with children (we have two ourselves so can recommend places to visit).

Some guest comments:

"Beautiful weekend in your beautiful holiday home. We spent two days on our bikes at Coed y Brenin and on the Upper Ceiriog Trail"

"The cottage has a really relaxed vibe about it which helps you relax and enjoy the surroundings".

"Loads to do in the surrounding area. Walks, cycling, lake & river sports".

Llanarmon is in the Ceiriog valley just over the hill from Llangollen. Rough Guides listed it recently as one of the "six must visit places in Wales you have probably never heard of".

For such a small village it really punches above its weight. We have two fantastic pubs, lots of activities, walks and places to visit all within a short ride or drive.

To ensure our guests get the most from their stay, there are lots of maps, guides and trail suggestions available at the cottage.

The nearest bike shop doing repairs and spares is in Llangollen. It is possible to reach the village by public transport.

The film follows a number of mountain bike adventures across Wales. From trail centres to natural trails, epic downhill at Antur Stiniog to family rides at Coed y Brenin, a bikepacking trip through the Brecon Beacons and a trail dog at Cwm Rhaeadr all filmed in glorious 4k ultra high definition. This is mountain biking in Wales.
